Pulsed Electric Fields in food is an emerging technology that began to be studied in the 1960s and its purpose is to preserve food, guaranteeing its nutritional value as it is a non-thermal treatment. It is based on the inactivation of microorganisms by the application of electrical pulses that cause the deformation or destruction of the cell membrane, and is due to the accumulation of charges that attract each other, causing the compression of the membrane, reducing its thickness and forming pores. Inactivation may be reversible or irreversible, depending on the intensity or duration of treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
